5. MAJOR AREAS OF ACTIVITY AND RESULTS OF 2019

5.1. The Bank’s position in the sector

Information about the economic environment where the Bank operates According to the first assessment of the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, in 2019 Russian GDP has reached RUB 109,36 trillion. The GDP growth made 1,3% (against 2,5% in 2018), which corresponds with the official forecast of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development. A slowdown of 1,2 p.p. in the GDP growth in 2019 was reasoned by two key factors. First, a weaker external demand in the conditions of a slowdown in global economic growth resulted in a considerable decrease in exports of Russian goods and services (-2,1% against 2018). Export’s additional dynamics was restrained by the OPEC+ oil extraction limitations. Secondly, household consumer activity became slightly slower given the growth of the average annual

12 inflation, mainly due to VAT increase at the beginning of the year. At the same time, the output growth was positively influenced Graph 1 - Dynamics of key economic development indicators of the Russian Federation for 2016-2019, in % by the dynamics of the gross fixed to the previous year capital formation and the

(after almost a zero contribution last year). According to the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, in 2019 the highest growth of the gross added value was registered in finance and insurance sector (9,7%), in hotel and public catering sector (3,2%), in mineral resources extraction (2,7%), and in transport and storage sector (2,1%). In the processing industries, the growth made 1,6%. The contribution of the trade turnover in the economic growth rates in 2019 decreased to 0,2 p.p. after 0,3 p.p. a year before. At that, the slowdown of growth rates was observed both in the retail trade (to 1,6% after 2,8% a year before) and in the wholesale (despite a considerable speedup due to current factors in Quarter 4 of 2019). In the reporting year, the industrial production grew slower than last year (2,4% and 2,9% respectively). The output of the processing industries increased by 2,3% (2,6% in 2018). The key growth drivers were food industry, chemical industry and metallurgy. The growth of mineral resources extraction was reducing consistently: from 4,7% in Quarter 1 to 1,3% in Quarter 4. Thus, at the year-end it made 3,1% (in 2018 – 4,1%).

13

In its July review of the global economy, the International Monetary Fund worsened the forecast for the growth of the Russian economy for 2019 to 1,2% from the previously expected 1,6%, due to slow growth rates in Quarter 1. At January 1, 2020, there were 442 credit organizations in Russia (at the beginning of 2019 – 484), 402 of them were banks. Total 31 licenses of credit organizations were revoked/cancelled in 2019; 12 reorganizations through mergers occurred. At that, in March 2019 a newly established bank was licensed for banking activities for the first time in more than 4 years.

By the results of 2019, private deposits made RUB 30 549 billion; their growth made 7,3% (for 2018 private deposits grew by 9,5%). In exchange, the corporate deposit and account balances only grew by 0,5% to RUB 28 146 billion (for 2019 the growth made 12,7%). In 2019, the Bank of Russia reduced the key interest rate five times (from 7,75% to 6,25%). The inflation rate decreased faster than expected and the economic growth remained unstable. By the results of 2019, the banks have earned RUB 2,0 trillion before taxation (net profit RUB 1,7 trillion, +73% to 2018). However, the banking sector’s dynamics is influenced by a number of technical and current factors, which include a technical income of RUB 0,4 trillion from reflecting a number of adjustments, associated with the introduction of a new standard of credit risk allowance IFRS 9, in the profit and loss statement, as well as the result of the banks managed by the Fund for the Banking Sector Consolidation (hereinafter referred to as the MG FBSC LLC), where large single-time additional provisioning for old troubled assets is possible. Thus, in 2019 the result of the banks managed by the MG FBSC LLC was close to zero, whereas in 2018 they reflected a considerable loss of over RUB 0,5 trillion. The sector’s net profit without IFRS 9 minus the result of the banks managed by the MG FBSC LLC made RUB 1,3 trillion in 2019, which is 11% less than in 2018 – RUB 1,5 trillion. 372 credit organizations showed positive financial result before taxation – 84% of those operating at 01.01.2020. JSCB Almazergienbank JSC mainly operates on the territory of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), and is significantly influenced by the region’s economic conditions. Due to implementing the key investment projects, the republic’s economy maintains the positive development dynamics. Positive trends include growth of the industrial production index, construction works, agricultural production and paid services’ volume. Advanced growth of the basic national measures as compared to the average Russian ones is observed: the growth of the gross regional product made 3,5% (RF GDP – 1,3%), industrial production - by 12,4% (RF – by 2,4%), construction works – by 11,4% (RF – 0,4%).

5.3. Implementation of the Bank’s Strategy

Almazergienbank operates in compliance with the Banking Group’s Development Strategy for 2019-2022 (Strategy), endorsed by the resolution of the Supervisory Board on October 29, 2019. The Bank has defined the following mission of its Strategy – the ambition of becoming an innovative partner for our customers, operating in Russia and worldwide, in compliance with the goals of socio-economic development of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). In the new strategic period the Bank will focus on creating a “digital foundation” through the transformation of retail and corporate business by optimizing digital channels and customer service, developing innovative regional products, services and solutions. The key initiatives will be implemented in 3 stages of the Bank's transformation: • Stage I – improving the Bank’s efficiency; • Stage II – business development within the current business model; • Stage III – creating new value.

Implementation of the Development Strategy in 2019 Due to the termination of the Development Strategy and a transition period required for the elaboration of the Banking Group’s Development Strategy for 2019-2021, the Supervisory Board at its meeting on 26.12.2018 decided to extend the 2014-2018 Strategy to the year 2019. During the period of the Strategy’s implementation, the global digital revolution began, in the banking area in particular. The development of technologies in the financial sector resulted in the formation of a new financial and technological ecosystem of Fintech. New sales channels, digital products and “neo-banks” have emerged in the banking sector. Due to limited resources,

19 which depend largely on the situation in the Russian economy, the Bank did not manage to completely transform the business processes and transfer all its products into a digital plane, which is why the implementation of the 2014-2018 Strategy was evaluated as satisfactory. Still, thanks to the well-coordinated work of its units and support of the majority shareholder, a platform for further development within the implementation of the new Strategy was prepared. The Banking Group’s Development Strategy for 2019-2022 was approved by the Bank’s Supervisory Board on October 29, 2019 with account of the comments from the relevant ministries and agencies, as well as on the basis of the results of the meetings of the Bank’s Supervisory Board in June-August 2019, and endorsed by the Economic Council of the Government of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The Strategy’s risk management block was preliminarily reviewed by PwC Consulting LLC in terms of describing the applicable regulatory acts, a list of significant risks, potentially changing at the strategy’s implementation, and measures taken for their mitigation; financial modelling in terms of validity of assumptions and approaches, applied to forecast the capital value, and risk exposure at calculating the capital adequacy ratios. In 2019, the Bank has shown the following financial indicators: – own funds (capital) made RUB 4,5 billion; – profit RUB 0,3 billion; – credit portfolio (net) RUB 23,3 billion; – attracted funds RUB 25,3 billion; –ROA 1,4% –ROE 11,2% –CIR 60%.

To achieve the business goals in 2020, it is planned to continue working on the implementation of the key initiatives, including those to increase the Bank’s efficiency, organize business within the current business model and create new value.

20 in corporate clients, which will allow them to ensure the transition to the implementation of the innovative business development model.

The decrease in the number of the Bank’s customers in 2019 is explained by the Bank’s increased efforts to comply with the requirements of the Russian AML/FT legislation.

JSCB Almazergienbank JSC continues to take part in the implementation of the socially significant republican projects. The Bank is successfully implementing a social project on depositing monthly cash payments and subsidies to the welfare beneficiaries’ social cards and a transport project on introducing the automated accounting and cashless fare payment in urban and suburban public transport. Over 342 thousand transport cards have been sold (without school cards and social cards with transport app). Since 2012, the Bank has been working on the campus project of the North-Eastern Federal University; as of January 1, 2020, the number of campus cards amounted to more than 15,9

14 Without transport and school cards. 15 Active cards –cards operated in the last three months. 32 thousand. A campus card can be used not only as a pass to the university area and a ticket in public transport, but also as a means of payment. In November 2016, the Bank was one of the first in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) to issue plastic cards of MIR national payment system. The participants of MIR national payment system are 278 Russian banks16, but only 158 of them, including JSCB Almazergienbank JSC, were entitled to issue these plastic cards. JSCB Almazergienbank JSC is one of the first banks in the Russian Far East to issue and service the plastic cards of JCB international payment system. The Bank constantly improves its plastic card servicing infrastructure by expanding the terminal and ATM networks. At 01.01.2020, the number of electronic terminals has exceeded 1,6 thousand; the ATM network includes 178 ATMs, the number of self-service machines is 113. For the customers’ convenience, the ATMs are located in the Bank’s offices, the sites with a high density of potential customers and in the premises of the enterprises involved in the payroll projects.

Territorial development The Bank’s services are available to 60% of Yakutia’s population, living in Yakutsk and 15 districts of the republic. At January 01, 2020, the Bank’s territorial network in the republic is represented by 15 supplementary offices, 7 operating offices and 1 out-of-the-office cash counter in 16 administrative units, including Yakutsk and 15 districts. In the large cities of the Far East – Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, the Bank is represented with operating offices. Besides, there is the Bank’s representative office in Moscow.

Remote banking In 2019, we continued to actively work on improving the remote banking services and attracting clients to these services. As we constantly work on improving the service and operation of AEB Online 2.0 app, developed by the Bank’s subsidiary, it became possible to achieve an increase in the number of its users by over 33%. Total in 2019, 19 thousand customers were connected to AEB-Online system. As of January 1, 2020, the number of customers using AEB- Online amounted to more than 75 thousand (24% of the total number of retail customers). Over 4 200 online bank transactions are performed daily by the Bank's customers. In the future, the Bank will continue to work on improving the functionality of its remote banking services to improve the quality of customer service.

5.6. Securities Trading

Brokerage service Since 2018, through the mediation of the prime broker (Perm Stock Company LLC), the Bank, in an open mode, began to provide clients with its own services of providing access to securities trading in MOEX. In compliance with the Bank’s 2019 Professional Activity Development Plan, customer acquisition measures were arranged. To raise financial awareness and attract population to the securities market, the Bank’s staff have consulted the visitors of the annual Financial and Social Services Fair. In 2019, Almazergienbank participated in two placements of state bonds of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

Dealer business The structure of the Bank’s own securities portfolio is traditionally made up of shares and bonds of the largest Russian companies included in the MOEX first listing level (so-called “blue chips”). In 2019, the total book value of the Bank’s securities portfolio grew by RUB 99 million (+16%) as compared to the value at the beginning of the year. The portfolio’s value has grown due to the increased investments in bonds as well as due to the growing market value of the entire portfolio. The portfolio’s structure has changed significantly: the level of investments in bonds has increased by RUB 114 million (+42%) whereas the level of investments in shares has decreased by RUB 15 million (-4%). The portfolio’s rebalancing was caused by the market situation at the end of 2019, when the Russian securities market appreciated and the probability of recession soared. Thus, the share of conservative bonds was increased (mostly through investing in federal loan bonds), whereas the share of high-risk shares was reduced. At the year-end 2019, the income from securities trading in absolute terms amounted to RUB 18 million. In addition, interest income (dividends from shares, bond coupons, and interest from repos) amounted to RUB 42 million. The total amount of income from own securities portfolio and transactions with them amounted to RUB 60 million per year, which corresponds to a yield of 17% per annum (when calculated on the portfolio’ active part).

5.7. Financial indicators

In 2019, credit organizations operated in a relatively stable economic and political environment. The banks’ net profit in 2019 reached RUB 1,7 trillion; however, excluding the technical income from the IFRS-9 introduction, the net profit has slightly reduced – to RUB 1,3 trillion (from RUB 1,5 trillion in 2018). In the financial situation associated with the need for the credit risk revaluation, the Bank maintained its positions in the banking market, confirming the reliability and quality of the provided services. Today, Almazergienbank is a key financial institute of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia); it is among the Top-100 Russian banks by the size of the credit portfolio and the volume of customer deposits.

As of 01.01.2020, the Bank’s assets made RUB 29,3 billion, which is RUB 2,7 billion (or 10%) more than last year. Net lending receivables at depreciable cost (80%) make the most of the assets. At January 1, 2020, the Bank’s own capital made RUB 4 453 million, as compared to last year, the value has grown by RUB 599 million or 16%, which is mostly associated with attracting additional capital through the indefinite term subordinated loans for a total of RUB 400 million. At 01.01.2020, the capital adequacy ratio made 14,5% (at January 01, 2018: 13,52%). In the period under review, the Bank has not breached the minimum requirements for all capital adequacy ratios. The net interest income made RUB 1 571 million. As compared to last year, the net interest income has grown by RUB 147 million (or 10%). In the reporting period, the net interest margin made 6,6% annual, which is 0,6 percentage points higher than the previous year’s value. The net commission income has demonstrated a decrease, having made RUB 487 million (the year before – RUB 528 million), which is primarily associated with shifting to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS-9). By the results of the year 2019, the Bank has generated the operating profit of RUB 2 611 million (RUB 2 055 million the year before). The Bank fully covers its general and administrative expenses from the operating activity profit.

For the year 2019, the Bank has paid taxes and levies totaling RUB 311,4 million, which is RUB 13 million or 4,4% more that in 2018. The increased total amount of taxes paid in 2019 results from the Bank’s profitable operation in the reporting year and the payment of the profit tax of RUB 51 950 thousand at the year-end, including RUB 7 793 thousand to the Federal budget and RUB 44 157 thousand to the budget of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

5.8. Risk Management

Risk management is a strategic direction in the Bank’s work. The main goal of the risk management is to construct an integrated system of risk management corresponding with the internationally-acknowledged practice, aimed to secure sustainable development within the framework of implementing the Bank’s Development Strategy, approved by the Bank’s Supervisory Board, as well as to protect the interests of the shareholders, creditors, employees, customers and other people, interested in the Bank’s continued sustainable development. Introduction of risk management and control functions is a continuous process. The Bank sets internal requirements to the transparency of risk information as a basis for risk control, limiting and management. The Bank’s risk management system is based, inter alia, on the internal procedures of the capital adequacy assessment (hereinafter referred to as the ICAAP) in compliance with the Directive of the Bank of Russia dated 15.04.2015 № 3624-D “On the requirements to the risk and capital management system of a credit organization and banking group”. The basic principles of the risk management system are defined in the Risk and Capital Management Strategy of JSCB Almazergienbank JSC, endorsed by the Bank’s Supervisory Board. To implement the main risk management goals, the Bank fulfills the following tasks: – identification and selection of substantial risks, their assessment and aggregation; – definition of risk appetite parameters;

37

– definition of the aggregate required capital to cover all substantial and potential risks, inherent in the Bank’s activities, target structure of capital, sources of its formation and current capital requirement; – evaluation and control over the adequacy of the available capital; – stress testing of financial stability and capital towards substantial risks, analysis and consideration of the results at capital planning; – distribution of capital by the system of limits, setting the indicators of the risk profile and their maximum values, taking into account the statutory ratios and parameters of risk appetite; – control over the observation of the set limits, monitoring of substantial risks’ level, escalation of breaching the set risk limits; – informing the Bank’s management of the assumed risks level within ICAAP reporting; – assessment of efficiency of the applied risk management methods, improvement of the risk management system, if new risk factors are revealed, and reflection of these changes in the bylaws; – development of risk culture and risk management competencies in the Bank.

In 2019, the Bank worked to improve the risk and capital management system: – implemented arrangements to improve the management accounting – a shift to daily accounting was introduced; work was started to automate the calculation of the taken risks, broken down by subdivisions and financial instruments; – the system of indicators of the Bank’s risk appetite was improved, as well as the procedures for its preparation, approval and cascading over the Bank’s subdivisions; – consistent introduction and improvement of methods and processes of risk management at both the integrated level and the level of certain risks management systems were conducted; work was continued to improve the risk assessment methods and update the internal documents, including with respect to the recommendations of the Internal Audit Service; – IT-infrastructure of risk management and the tools for risk reporting were improved. In 2019, the Bank identified the following risk types as the substantial ones: credit risk, market and operational risks, liquidity risk, concentration risk, bank portfolio interest rate risk, as well as reputational, strategic and regulatory (compliance) risks. The Bank’s policy is aimed at creating a comprehensive system of risk and capital management, integrated in the overall process of the Bank’s management and corresponding with

38 the nature and scale of the Bank’s activity and the profile of the taken risks, as well as economic conditions and business development. The Bank strives to implement the organizational structure of the risk and capital management, where there is no conflict of interests: units and employees responsible for effecting risk-exposed operations, accounting of these operations, risk management and control, as well as for the independent assessment of the risk management system efficiency and its correspondence to the nature and scale of the Group’s operations, are separated at the level of the organizational structure. The Bank’s organizational system of risk management includes the Supervisory Board, the Risk Management & Audit Committee under the Supervisory Board, executive management bodies, Risk and Control Commission, Credit Commissions, Asset and Liability Management Commission under the Bank’s Management Board and other structural units involved in risk management.

The key unit responsible for building a system of risk management and control over the level of the substantial risks taken by the Bank is the Risk Management Department, headed by the Director and consisting of the Credit Risk and Banking Risk Units.

Credit risk Credit risk is a risk of the Bank’s losses due to failure to perform, late or incomplete performance of the debtor’s financial obligations to the Bank in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement. Credit risk is managed in compliance with the Regulations on the assessment and management of the integrated credit risk and the Bank’s Credit Policy. The assessment of the credit risk, including the capital requirement, is conducted based on the methods established by the Regulations of the Bank of Russia № 590-R on the procedure for creation of provisions for loan loss, outstanding debt and similar debt, Regulations of the Bank of Russia № 611- R on creation of possible loss provisions, Instruction of the Bank of Russia № 199- I on the banks’ statutory ratios (hereinafter referred to as the Instruction of the Bank of Russia № 199-I). The Bank applies the following basic methods of credit risk management: – risk prevention through identification, analysis and assessment of potential risks before making a credit risk-exposed transaction; – introduction of the risk assessment and identification processes; – planning a credit risk level through the assessment of the anticipated loss level;

39

– limiting credit risk through setting limits; – diversification of credit risk; – securing credit risk-bearing transactions in order to create loss provisions for possible deterioration of asset quality in the form of different kinds of material and non-material security; – creation of possible loss provisions; – allocation of the required capital or loss covering funds for the credit risk contingency reserve with the level of confidential probability set out in the Bank’s risk and capital management strategy; – creating a system of credit risk exposure indicators (risk appetite), setting and control over the observance of threshold (limit) and signal values; – using the decision-making and authority system; – monitoring and control of the financial position of borrowers/issuers/contractors/related borrowers’ groups and compliance with the conditions of granting credit products, contracts, transactions; – monitoring and control of credit risk level; – audit of the credit risk management system’s operation.

The Bank monthly monitored the asset quality indicators in compliance with the procedure of the Bank of Russia for the evaluation of the credit organizations’ economic situation. In the period under review, the credit risk indicators were within the set limits; the integrated result for the group of indicators involved in the asset quality evaluation was rated as “satisfactory” at all reporting dates. The following was monitored on a regular basis: a ratio of exposure to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers, a limit of major credit risks, a limit of loans, bank guarantees and securities provided by the Bank to its participants (shareholders), in the period under review the Bank didn’t violate the statutory ratios of the Russian Central Bank aimed to limit the credit risk. Diversification of the Bank's loan portfolio is carried out by allocating loans to various categories of borrowers, loan terms, types of collateral, by industry. The diversification of the loan portfolio by the terms is of particular importance, since, as a rule, the level of the Bank's credit risk increases with the extension of the loan term. The Bank aspires to avoid excessive diversification and concentration while forming its loan portfolio. The task of determining the optimal ratio between these methods is solved by setting credit limits and making provisions. Due to setting the credit risk limits for the system of key indicators and their threshold (limiting and/or signal values), the Bank manages to avoid critical

40 losses due to unconsidered concentration of any type of risk, as well as to diversify the loan portfolio and ensure stable income. Limits can be set by types of loans, categories of borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In 2019, the Bank conducted a credit policy complying with the endorsed Bank’s Strategy for 2014-2019, including lending to the enterprises partially owned by the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and to the public-private partnership projects.

Concentration risk Concentration risk is a risk of the Bank's exposure to major risks, whose implementation can lead to significant losses that could pose a threat to the solvency of the Bank and its ability to continue operating. The Bank's policies and procedures include special principles aimed at maintaining a diversified portfolio and managing the established concentrations of risk. The Bank identifies the following types of the concentration risk: The concentration of credit risk is manifested in granting loans or other assets to an individual customer or a group of related customers, as well as due to the Bank's debtors belonging to certain sectors of the economy or to geographic regions, or due to concentrating activities on certain types of active operations that make the Bank vulnerable to similar economic factors. The concentration of liquidity risk is manifested in the Bank's concentration on certain sources of funding and revenues. The concentration of market risk is manifested in investing in homogeneous financial instruments of one counterparty, trade portfolio, certain currencies, whose market prices vary under the influence of the same economic factors. Monitoring and evaluation of the concentration risk is carried out simultaneously with the monitoring of the relevant significant risk according to the internal documents and is carried out on a regular basis by a monthly examination of the system of key risk concentration indicators.

Market risk Market risk is a risk of the Bank’s losses due to unfavorable changes in the market value of the financial instruments of the Bank's trading portfolio and derivative financial instruments, as well as foreign exchange and/or precious metals rates. Market risk includes stock, currency, interest rate (by the trading book) and commodity risks. To monitor and maintain the market risk at the acceptable level, a combination of the following risk management methods is used: – a decision-making and authority system;

41

– a system of collecting and analysis of information about the markets and counterparties; – a system of current monitoring of changes in market prices; – identification and evaluation of market risk at the stages of strategic and business planning, as well as at approving the new products and transactions; – setting limits to the net foreign exchange positions, including certain foreign exchange, to the stock market instruments, as well as the groups of financial instruments, to the portfolios, including for certain units generating a market risk; – setting limits to the maximum loss amount over the portfolios. The main methods of market risk management (in terms of stock market and interest rate risks), arising in the Bank’s work in the stock market, are as follows: evaluation of the risk and its concentration by the balance sheet assets, defining a possible loss due to adverse market development, limiting the monetary resources placement operations. Currency exchange and commodity risks are mitigated by a balanced net foreign exchange position, allowing to secure a required liquidity by foreign currencies and precious metals and timely meet the customer demands. In 2019, the Bank continued the conservative policy of placing in the securities. To minimize the market risk and the load on capital, the trading portfolio is mostly formed from the marketable instruments.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is a risk of loss due to the Bank's inability to fully perform its financial obligations. The main goal of liquidity risk management is to ensure the growth of assets and the fulfillment of obligations as they occur, without incurring losses in the amount threatening the Bank’s financial stability; it is achieved through the following tasks: - timely fulfillment of obligations and satisfaction of clients' needs for banking services; - formation of a balanced portfolio of assets and liabilities, allowing to achieve the optimal ratio between profitability and risk; - allocation of the necessary capital required to cover the unforeseen losses associated with the implementation of liquidity risk and maintaining the capital available to the Bank in the amount sufficient to cover the liquidity risk together with other substantial risks; - keeping the losses related to liquidity provision, including both expenses in case of attracted liquidity and forced sale of assets, within the set limits and (or) indicators of risk

42

appetite; - minimization of unjustified borrowings increasing the Bank's expenses; - observance of the set risk appetite indicators and (or) limits of the liquidity risk; - maintaining the Bank's high business reputation in financial markets. The Bank manages its liquidity by analyzing the level of liquid assets required to regulate the obligations at maturity; by providing access to various funding sources; by having plans for the cases of problems with funding and control over the compliance of the liquidity ratios with the legal requirements. The Bank conducts quick liquidity management by defining the current payment position and forecasting the payment position change with account of the payment schedule and various development scenarios, forecasts and analyzes the liquidity status to secure a required liquidity cushion, liquidity risk stress testing is held on a regular basis.

The need for liquid funds is determined monthly on the basis of the calculation of the deficit (excess) of liquidity for each urgency group. To determine the shortage (excess) of liquidity by maturity, a monthly report is prepared on the structure of funds raised and placed on maturity dates of borrowing and placement. To determine the Bank's rational need for liquid funds, including the definition of excess/deficit of liquidity, the limiting of financial transactions is introduced. The Bank sets limits on certain types of assets and use of financial instruments in the context of common positions for the coming month on a monthly basis. To calculate the limits, the sufficiency of the cash flow to issue new loans and purchase of assets, to make payments from customers' accounts on their orders, to pay deposits and interest on them, to conduct current business activities are analyzed based on the data provided by the subdivisions. Action plan aimed to secure the continuity of operations and (or) business restoration in case of emergencies or unanticipated liquidity deficit forms part of the integrated liquidity risk management system. The plan offers response actions for several scenarios and distributes responsibilities, including the preventive measures procedures and response protocol in case of any scenario’s implementation.

Throughout the period under review, the Bank conservatively observed the statutory liquidity ratios (Н2, Н3 и Н4).

Bank portfolio interest rate risk Bank portfolio interest rate risk is a risk of loss, including the worsening of the Bank’s position due to decrease in the capital, level of income, value of assets and increase in the value of liabilities caused by the changed market interest rates.

43

The main procedures for the interest rate risk management and the methods for its assessment are the following: - detecting and assessing the value of the interest rate risk; - forming the proposals on the composition, methods and procedures for computing of the risk-appetite values of the Bank for the interest rate risk; - evaluation of the Bank’s capital requirements to cover the interest rate risk, including the evaluation of the target levels of the interest rate risk; - setting the limits for the interest rate risk; - monitoring and analysis of dynamics of the key indices of the interest rate risk (duration index, excess of the Bank’s deposit interest rates over the basic level of the deposit profitability, excess of the Bank’s deposit interest rates over the average maximum interest rate, etc.); - analysis of the interest rates in the banking market (including the interest rates offered by the competing banks); - stress testing of the interest rate risk; - implementation of measures for mitigating and decreasing the interest rate risk (revision of interest rates for the Bank’s products if the interest rates in the banking market change, optimization of the interest-yielding assets-liabilities structure, application of the floating rate, etc.); - control over the observation and the internal audit of the set The interest rate risk has not materially affected the Bank’s performance in the period under review.

Operational risk Operational risk is a risk of the Bank’s losses due to unreliable internal management procedures, personnel dishonesty, data system failure, or due to external events affecting the Bank’s activity. Legal risk is part of the operational risk. The Bank’s operational risk management system is aimed at preventing possible losses and decreasing the probability of business process frustration, inability to provide high quality of customer service due to personnel error, system failures, internal or external fraud, breach of legislation. The Bank’s operational risk management system is fully integrated in the general process of the banking risk management system at all levels, in the new products, types of activity, processes and systems, and includes the following: – introduction of the risk-based approach in all aspects of the Bank’s activity;

44

– understanding by all the Bank’s employees of the basic principles and approaches to the operational risk management; – systematic analysis of the revealed operating risks; – constructing a system of control of operating risks and monitoring of operating risk management efficiency; – providing the necessary legal and methodological support; – distribution of authority and responsibility for operational risk management among the Bank’s structural units The major methods used by the Bank to mitigate the operational risk are as follows: – development of its organizational structure, internal regulations, banking operation procedures and other transactions in a manner allowing to exclude (mitigate) the probability of the operational risk factors; – transfer of risk or its part to the third party (outsourcing); – joint decision-making, setting a system of limits for certain operations; – implementation of measures to guarantee the continuity of the financial and economic operations at effecting the banking operations and other transactions, including contingency plans; – ensuring the required personnel skill level and their professional development; – insurance of the Bank’s property, automobile insurance, banking risk insurance, optional medical insurance and accident insurance for the Bank’s staff; – developing the system of banking processes and technologies automation; – security and recoverability of data systems and resources, development of information security systems. The operational risk, controlled by the Bank on a regular basis, has not materially affected its performance in the period under review.

Strategic risk Strategic risk a risk of adverse change in the results of a credit organization’s activity due to making erroneous management decisions, including those made while developing, endorsing and implementing a credit organization’s development strategy, improper execution of the made decisions, as well as the credit organization’s management bodies’ failure to consider the changes in external factors. The system of the Bank’s strategic risk management is implemented through: – constant monitoring of compliance with the Russian law, particularly on the banking secret and the establishment of internal control to combat money laundering and financing

45 of terrorism, with the standards of the Bank of Russia on ensuring information security in credit organizations; – execution of the internal banking documents developed on the basis of the supervisor legal acts, as well as timely execution of the written instructions of the Bank’s management bodies; – control over the execution of the strategic decisions; – securing the timeliness of settlements on the instruction from the customers and counterparties, payment of the deposit amounts and interests on accounts (deposits), as well as settlements on other transactions; – monitoring the efficiency of the conducted operations and the quality of their management; – self-control over the authenticity of the accounting statements and other published information, provided to the establishers, customers and counterparties, regulators and supervisors, as well as other interested parties, including for promotion purposes; – development in the Bank of the system of communication and document turnover, preventing the use of the information available in the Bank by the people having access to such information for their personal benefit, and, at the same time, ensuring timely, full and true acquisition of information by the people who need this information for the decision-making purposes; – strategic risk management with threat estimate to the Bank’s financial position and the Bank’s business reputation in the future; – consideration of interrelations between different risks and their capability of complementing, aggravating and compensating each other; – development and application of the efficient personnel incentive programs; – adherence to the “Know your employee” and “Know your customer” principles. To mitigate the strategic risk, the Bank uses the following key measures: controls that the decisions made by the higher authorities are executed by the Bank’s lower units and employees; standardizes the Bank’s major operations and transactions; analyzes the impact of the strategic risk factors (both in the aggregate and broken down by their classification) on the Bank’s performance as a whole; monitors the banking services market to identify the new areas of the Bank’s activity and sets the new strategic tasks; monitors the resources, including the financial, material and technical, and human, to implement the Bank’s strategic tasks; establishes the management reporting that is used to make management decisions. In the period under review, the system of monitoring and control over the arrangements of the new Strategy was formed based on the existing organizational model and management

46 mechanisms with stage-by-stage switch to a new operating model of the Bank’s subdivisions’ interaction.

Regulatory risk Regulatory (compliance) risk is the risk of the Bank’s direct or indirect losses due to non- compliance with the Russian legislation, the Bank’s internal documents, standards of self- regulated organizations or other standards, as well due to the application of sanctions and (or) other enforcement actions by the supervisory authorities. The goal and key priority of the regulatory (compliance) risk management policy is to improve the internal control system, identify and eliminate deficiencies in internal documents, internal control environment, operating environment and bank systems to minimize regulatory risk sources and maintain regulatory risk at the level acceptable for the Bank and securing the preservation of own capital, reputation of the Bank and the shareholders, and the Bank’s operational stability. In managing the regulatory risk, the Bank is guided by the following principles: – the regulatory risk management system is integrated in the Bank’s operating environment; – the regulatory risk management is conducted on a regular basis and involves every employee; – information flows and the accountability system are designed and operate to secure the efficient regulatory risk management. The Bank’s internal communications promote the formation of the risk culture of the regulatory risk management and assist with conducting monitoring and control of the regulatory risk; – the Bank’s executive bodies are responsible for creating the efficient regulatory risk management system and introduction of the risk management culture, as well as for establishing the procedure for the interaction and reporting on the regulatory risk; – within the framework of the regulatory risk management system, the sources of the regulatory risk are detected and evaluated, to which the Bank’s activity is exposed; – the level of risks, inherent in the existing and the newly-developed products, activities, automated systems and processes of the Bank are evaluated regularly; – the authorities and responsibilities of all stakeholders to the regulatory risk management are defined in order to eliminate possible conflicts of interests between the stakeholders to the regulatory risk management and the Bank’s bylaws. In the period under review, no material fines on the basis of the instructions form the regulatory authorities have been imposed on the Bank.
